Cell & Gene Therapy, London

SMi Group

May 22, 2018

The conference will be led by scientists and clinicians researching, developing and testing new treatments for genetically inherited and acquired diseases, using gene delivery technology, stem cell manipulation and DNA repair techniques. Hear from the MHRA, Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult, Adverum Biotech, AstraZeneca, UCL and more!

Cellular and humoral immunity against AAV can affect the safety and efficacy of gene therapy and the ability to re-treat patients later in life. Selecta Biosciences have developed synthetic vaccine particles encapsulating rapamycin (SVP-Rapamycin) that have been shown to mitigate immunogenicity against a variety of biologic drugs by inducing tolerogenic dendritic cells and antigen-specific regulatory T cells.

Kei Kishimoto, Chief Scientific Officer, Selecta Biosciences will present pre-clinical data demonstrating the ability of SVP-Rapamycin to inhibit the formation of anti-AAV antibodies and share data from an ongoing clinical trial of SVP-Rapamycin combined with a therapeutic enzyme.
